Shen Qianhui stared blankly ahead, feeling as though she had been thrown into the icy, snowy wilderness once again.
Last time at the Shens, Old Madame Shen had collaborated with Madame Lin to humiliate her. How could she not know now that Old Madame Shen must be in cahoots with Madame Lin again?
Otherwise, how would Madame Lin have known the date and location of their contract signing?
Shen Qianhui clenched her fists.
Seeing her looking so woebegone, Madame Lin took great pleasure and then turned to Shen Bijun waiting at the door, speaking with pointed intent,
"This is the power of status! Some people, no matter how capable, are nothing without the right background!"
"The threshold of the Chus is very high. Do you really think you can enter the Chus' door and turn from an ugly duckling into a swan? Let me tell you, the ugly duckling can become a swan only because it is born a swan's child!"
"And you... are nothing in Sea City!"
